 The Rhapsody Service makes all the difference June 28, 2008
This product can be a little slow to jump between functions, but the Rhapsody to-go service is unparalleled in terms of value. For something like $28/month, you have the ability to download 4.5 million songs with no 'price per song or album' as with Apple's competing iTunes service. While all the media is still DRM protected by REALPLAYER's HELIX DRM solution, the simple fact that you can fill up a 30G Ibiza with all the album's you can't afford, and do it LEGALLY is simply amazing.
The only drawbacks I've seen with the Ibiza is that it doesn't have any aftermarket components like th iPod, and there is not software equalizer or listening modes (e.g. Concert, Classical, etc...)
I gave this product a 5 star rating because it performs as advertised, and I was influenced by REALPLAYER's Rhapsody service.
Oh, another cool thing is the 802.11g wireless connection which allows you to leapfrog across genres and artists directly through your wireless router.
If you use Rhapsody, this is your type of player June 27, 2008
I was extremely surprised by how much I enjoy this MP3 player!
It sounds and looks great, and the wifi is an amazing feature! It is so much easier adding music to my player through with the wifi (through Rhapsody) rather than syncing it up to my computer. I was a bit amazed at how quick it can download music!
I've found that the battery life is a bit shorter than I'd like, but if you turn off the wifi and bluetooth capabilities while at work or the gym it does helps. Also, I just invested some money in a charging dock and car charger (Ibiza brand too, which I found it at Target), so it's not that big of a deal any more. The ear buds it comes with aren't very good at all, but I already had my own before I bought the player.
There are only two things that have bothered me a bit with this player... 1. The touch pad can be a bit tricky to work, especially if you're trying to change tracks in the car, but maybe I just need some more practice... and 2. It sorts soundtracks and compilation albums stupidly by breaking it up into separate albums for each artist featured. For example, my Darjeeling Limited album is listed as about 17 different album, each album featuring music from a specific artist on the soundtrack... very lame if you like listening to soundtracks. You can create an album playlist and add all the "broken" albums onto it in order to piece it all together, but it is a pain... but even with these problems, I still give it five stars.
Overall though, this player is definitely awesome if you are a Rhapsody subscriber (especially Rhapsody To Go). For me, the unlimited uploads are worth the $15 monthly fees... I'm always adding music to my MP3 player (around 200 songs a month), which comes out to a little under 8 cents a song, a lot cheaper than iTunes (and you can't even listen to the whole song before you buy it!). With Rhapsody's newest bombardment of advertisements, this new player could even be a great rival for the iPod (but not many companies can stand up against Apple's obnoxiously amazing marketing).
If you aren't a Rhapsody member, you definitely will not get as much joy out of this player.
 Very functional June 24, 2008
The menus are easy to use! Sound is great when plugged in to a car stereo! I had another MP3 Player (Bean Walkman from Sony), and it sounded like crap in the car. Even though there isn't an equalizer, this device doesn't need one. I love driving with this plugged in. My only complaint is the one that I have with all portable devices - the battery doesn't last near long enough! I am always charging the thing. Also, the Wifi part is a bit confusing. But I am not that wifi savvy yet. So that may be my fault. I was determined to stay away from the IPOD (Rhapsody's subscription for music is so much cheaper!No 99cents per song crap for me!), so this is a good alternative choice.
ibiza is a hit! June 14, 2008
This player combined with the to go subscription to Rhapsody is what I've always looked for in a music player. I don't have to do anything (who has the time?) other than find music on Rhapsody and drag it to the player.
Not only that, it gets updated for new features at no cost!
totally new listening eperience June 10, 2008
I can't believe more people don't have theses. this is the way music should be. you can use the usual active approach and find the music you think that you like and eventually get bored with it like everyone else with an ipod. Or you can take a semi-passive approach and use the suggestions, similar bands, rhapsody channels that this thing gives you.
say your busy but want to listen to something good. pull up an artist you know you like, then hit the listen to this artist's channel and magically you have a radio station completely focused on what you want to hear. this allows you to discover new artists that would never get clear channel airplay. and if you like the song you're listening to, just hit the keep this song button. like an album, download the whole album. I've been called "exteremely careful with money" or cheap but this well worth the rhapsody subscription
the device itself is very nice and looks much better than the pictures. the screen is pretty good and bright. navigation is fairly easy but you do need to learn the shortcuts to be effective.
I have never connected this to a computer by the way. I don't need to because I don't have to buy music every time I want to listen to it. it's like cable, it's just paid for and I can just enjoy it without worrying about it.
the wifi function is perfect. Battery life could be longer but it's chargable via usb which means that those AA cellphone boosters work as well.
the web browser could be a lot better but it's good for simple things and hotel/coffee shop wifi pages
